So this is apparently a big story. I heard the talking heads on the morning show say, “when there was a naked man on an interstate billboard a couple of weeks ago, there were tons of 911 calls, but in this instance, there was not a single report.”

I can explain that.

The nekkid guy on the highway backed up traffic. Badu did not. She was there for a minute or so, got off the road, and things went back to normal.

The 911 calls weren’t bitching about some guy being naked. They were bitching about the asshat making them late for work.

“It is extremely rare for police officers to admit they have concerns about a fellow officer, so when these two Garland officers said they had credibility issues with Officer Morrow, quite naturally it gave the district attorney’s office reason to be concerned as well,” said Jamille Bradfield, spokeswoman for the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is warning that some of his Democratic colleagues are being threatened with violence when they go back to their districts â€” and he wants Republicans to stand up and condemn the threats.

To be clear, I don’t think the problem is that the guy got shot. The problem is that the police want to use a device on us whenever we even use passive resistance, but will respond with deadly force if you threaten to use it on them.
